@Cia I mean... There is way. Others can have different opinions. I personally liked Portal 2 much better than the Xenoblade series.
Also, you chose not to respond to any of my points, instead just saying there's no way it's better than Xenoblade. My main point is that just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't find value in what you dislike. There are tradeoffs, and people have differing opinions.
Also, what point are you even trying to make? First you say you have no evidence that it is critically acclaimed, but then you complain about how it is overrated. Is it overrated, or is it bad and not critically acclaimed?
Again, I respect your opinion that it isn't a good game, but you are ignoring our actual arguments whilst contradicting yourself.
@Cia I personally think the appeal is the puzzle solving, story, and humor, along with the mechanics. You can boil any game down to its basic concepts and call it stupid. "Half Life 2 is just another sci-fi alien game."
The playtime could be viewed as a good thing or a bad thing. Sure, with long games you get more bang for your buck, but that doesn't necessarily make the overall experience better. I'd rather play a game that's short and amazing than I long game that way overstays its welcome.
Another good thing, while not completely related to the switch version, is that it was made so long ago. Sure, that means the graphics are outdated, but for Portal 2 specifically I think the graphics work just fine, and these games can practically run on a PotatOS. For those without beefy high-end PCs, this game can almost certainly run on their device.
These games are some of the most critically acclaimed. Just not THE most critically acclaimed.
I do agree that blocking is a pretty confusing overreaction. Not sure why blocking is warranted here.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying your opinion is invalid, just explaining the value others get out of the game.
@darkzero1People who exploit game mechanics are not "cheating". Especially in this game, the developers obviously wanted people to experiment and do things their own way. Even glitches can make the game even more fun for some people (myself included). It's fun to figure out how the game works through the games glitches.
People play games in their own unique ways. Some like to rush through, some like to play as normal, some like to find all of the secrets, som like to get creative, some like to find glitches, the list goes on and on. Nobody can play any game "wrong". You can't govern how other people enjoy the game.
No hard feelings, I've just been frustrated with people who have said similar things in the past and had a lot to say. Have a good day!
Portal 2 needs to be on Switch. It would be cool if they remastered the original portal to fit the Portal 2 art style, packaged them together, and made it $30, while it would cost more the remastered original would make it worth it. I'm sure it would sell like crazy, despite being a package of two old games.
I had gotten this glitch way back when the game first released. I was horrified. Luckily, they patched it, but if they hadn't I don't know what I would have done. I had already sunk 60 hours into the game which was significant considering it had only been out for a week.
@Dragwhite I know, right? But I still gat them... I don't kno what about them allures me so much, but I'm trying to get all of the Legend of Zelda ones, and it feels so good whenever I add on to my collection.
I don't like Tencent or the fact that they are ripping off the switch, but I will say, it looks SO COOL (not that I'm buying it. All I'm saying is that I wish my switch looked like that.).
I'd rather look at Sword and Shield's tree all day! The art style sucks. And it's not just the fact that there are chibi NPCs because I LOVE Link's Awakening's art style. This is just horrible, and I can't put my finger on why. Please change the art style Game Freak!
The game lasted a good 8 hours for me. However, I am TERRIBLY slow at finishing games, which probably because #1 I suck at most games and #2 I spend most of my time experimenting and goofing off. I like how it takes me a long time though; it just means I get to enjoy the game for longer!
@RupeeClock You know what I think would be cool? Chelle for smash from portal 2. This would be so cool! There is a really low likely hood of it, though.
This. Looks. AMAZING. I don't even play monster hunter, but I want that really bad. I'm hoping they make one BOTW themed though, so Imma hold out. However, I really hope the Zelda design (if they have one) will be similar in style. Wow!
